    <para>
      <command>pkcs11-keygen</command> causes a PKCS#11 device to generate
      a new key pair with the given <option>label</option> (which must be
      unique) and with <option>keysize</option> bits of prime.

          <para>
            Specify the key algorithm class: Supported classes are RSA,
            DSA, DH, and ECC. In addition to these strings, the
            <option>algorithm</option> can be specified as a DNSSEC
            signing algorithm that will be used with this key; for
            example, NSEC3RSASHA1 maps to RSA, and ECDSAP256SHA256 maps
            to ECC.  The default class is "RSA".

            The allows the private key data to be read from the PKCS#11
            device.  The default is for private keys to be sensitive and
            non-extractable.
